Big beer = flavortastic

I came across this article in the Akron Beacon Journal today at work and thought it was a good read.  It talks about how craft brewers are continuing to develop beers with big flavor and often a lot of alcohol as well.  I enjoyed the quotes from industry experts and thought you might also.

Also...they included a list of beers recommended by a number of the people interviewed in the article.  Nice to see what they recommend outside of their own beers.  Click here for the list.  It includes suggestions from:

• Luke Purcell, brewer, Great Lakes Brewing Co., Cleveland, OH
• Fred Karm, owner/brewer, Hoppin' Frog Brewing Co., Akron, OH
• Greg Koch, chief executive, Stone Brewing Co., San Marcos, CA

• Andrew Tveekrem, brewmaster, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, Milton, DE

IPA Update:  The IPA I brewed a couple of weeks back is now in a keg carbonating.  Of course I tasted it warm and flat to get an idea of how the final product will fare.  I think it is going to taste great and prove to be popular with guests...not overly sweet, a nice balance of hop flavor and bitterness, and a cascade aroma that you begin to smell inches away from the glass!
